A hairdresser has shared what she wishes people would - and wouldn't do - to not only help her, but to help them and other clients too. Taking to TikTok, the professional who has over six million likes across her vidoes, said that there are some "things I don't care about as a hairdresser."

Talking about her thoughts and common questions we all have, Jennifer Ball aka @craphairclub says "I don't care if you don't wash your hair". She says: "It's actually quite boring when someone says 'sorry I didn't wash my hair' because guess what? Me either", she jokes."

As well as wishing people would stop saying "sorry" - a common one word she hears a lot - she says: "I don't care if you don't want to talk. In fact, sometimes I quite enjoy it. Let's just settle into each other's strange company."

When we go to our hairdressers, we often have an inspiration picture at the ready - or just ask for our usual - but Jennifer says she doesn't care if you don't know. "I don't mind if you don't know what haircut you want" she says joking adding: "I'll give you my haircut if you want."

In her fourth tip, she says: "I don't care if you don't want your hair washed. If you don't want it washed, I'll just charge you less and we'll do it a quicker thing."

Talking about being late, she says a few minutes late is fine. But if you are edging towards 10 minutes, it can delay her day - and other clients. She explains if you're around 10 minutes late: "We've missed a consultation there, haven't we? I'm struggling to keep up with my day then because if one person is 12 minutes late then I'm going to be 12 minutes late for the next person.

"But I always kind of run over anyway so in reality I'm going to be 15-20 minutes late for the next person and all of a sudden everyone across the day is angry at me". In her final and seventh tip, she says that she doesn't mind if you have dandruff. So don't be embarrassed!
